The food is wonderful & the staff is warm & inviting. It's as if you sitting in Gaetano's kitchen and enjoying the family recipes.
Excellent! The short rib was truly scrumptious. Burrata with apple puree was surprisingly delicious. If you haven't tried this place, I urge you to do so.
Didn't know about this place until someone told me about it. I have crossed this place multiple times but didn't notice as it is not visible from the street.
They have a great cocktail menu and a simple food menu. Do get the Eggplant as it is a signature dish. Very accommodating staff and awesome food.
Good food good service
We loved loved loved this place! We started with the octopus and the fried polenta. My husband adored the polenta. It came with a sauce that we were told was sour cream but it wasn't your typical sour cream. It was light and creamy with just enough of a hint of acidity. The octopus was tasty and tender, just a bit of char on the ends of the tenticles. It was served on a bean and arugula salad that was so perfectly dresses that even my picky husband who hates arugula had seconds. Our mains were derliscious! (Sic) derliscious means it is even better than delicious. My hubby had a pork dish that was perfectly cooked (served with a yummy creamy orzo) while I had the most tender and juicy chicken. I usually avoid chicken while outI mean I can make that at home! But I was lured in by the sides of califlower and swiss chard which were fantastic. The evening was perfect because we had great drinks (my dirty martini was sufficiently dirty) and when we asked about dessert they totally hooked us up. I have and allergy to sulphur (i.e. no eggs) so the chef Gaitano whipped something up for me which was perfect! (Marscapone with strawberries, caramel and pistachios which we totally devoured!) I would be remiss to not mention our excellent server Joe who took such good care of us. Thank you Near for making our date night special.
Love this place! Amazing food and great service! Defiantly coming back!!!
I could write an essay on how much I love this place. But I won't. Just go, you won't regret it.
Best fine dining of this quality in nw burbs
Outstanding food and outstanding service. My wife and I ate here last night and we had the olives and fried chickpeas to start (we kept these through the whole meal). We had a spinach mushroom ravioli with a crispy kale one top that was out of this world followed by a fish that we shared. All done to perfection. Our server was Kelly and he paired drinks perfectly with what we were eating and took the time to explain what to look for. Owner and chef Nino came by and made sure everything was quality. Overall amazing experience. I highly recommend this place!
